Flickr batch uploading

Hi there, the other day, I added a couple of items to Commons:Flickr batch uploading. It lists you as one of the participants. Given that past requests have often been responded to on the same day, but there's been no reply to my requests, I was wondering whether I've missed something / done something wrong. I've also posted this message to user Zil. I haven't watchlisted your page (so if you reply here, please notify me with a talkback), but I do monitor the upload request pages. Thanks a lot.

Hi again, one of my flickr batch upload jobs from early June is still open. Zil has had a few attempts, has asked a few times for me to do something, but since my last action (12 July) things have been silent. I see he or she hasn't been on Commons in a while. Would you mind having a look at some point? I know that we are all volunteers and hence I really appreciate you doing these kinds of jobs. I've now watchlisted your page, too, so a TB is not required. Schwede66 06:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Geograph bot and multichillbot problems

Both bots have related (but different) issues mainly related to adding lots of files to "town and village" categories - that is utlimately counterproductive - since the whole categories need to be cleaned (no easy way to tell which are right or wrong) - the problem is that both the bots make mistakes. Your bot's main problem is that it is adding many files to categories of which the files are already in subcategories eg Category:Hambleton has many files in which should not be there.

I'm suggesting that geograph bot either use maintenence categories, or a geographic method based on actual boundary data, or to stop until fixed.

I'm not sure how responsible your bot is - I've seen it make some mistakes but I think Geograpbot is making the most errors. Please respond on the linked page if your bot is part of the problem. Imgaril (talk) 19:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Walton, Surrey, images

Hi it's just a polite note i noticed a couple of images you said you were finding a better category for, clearly images for somewhere in Surrey, yet you added Walton, Liverpool, category, to this. Also you did the same for Everton somewhere in Bedfordshire, to Everton, in Liverpool (Like the football club). I'm not sure why? Have had to remove these images from Walton, Liverpool & Everton, Liverpool Babydoll0409 (talk) 11:20, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I've actually noticed your name appearing on a few re-categorised images which are recategorised incorrectly. All these are from the Liverpool area. Can you please refrain from doing this? Babydoll0409 (talk) 11:32, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Please can you stop recategorising uncategorised images relating to Liverpool as West Derby or Walton can you not just simply categorise them as Liverpool? I would appreciate a response as your edits are still happeningBabydoll0409 (talk) 14:17, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Wikimania/Flickr

Hi,

I saw that your bot took all the pictures from our Flickr stream - that's great! But he mix all into one category, not into sets like flickr, not into the right category ("Images from Wikimania 2011 organization team) and without the Template:Wikimania2011-License... Can anything can be done to change that? --Itzike (talk) 18:25, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Walton, Surrey

With all due respect, why do you keep putting images for Walton, Surrey, in to Walton, Liverpool, and similarly put numerous images in the Liverpool area in to the wrong location? I have already contacted you and you have ignored my comments. I would appreciate a reply Babydoll0409 (talk) 10:09, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Change of title

Is it possible to edit the title of this image? I am the artist in this photograph, and I am from Oxnard, California - not from El Paso, Texas. A fix to the title would be appreciated! Thanks!

"Trying to find a better category"

CAN YOU STOP UNVIELING IMAGES HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE TO CATEGORIES THAT DO NOT BELONG TO THE IMAGES YOU ARE IDENTIFYING. Image for "View South along Berry Street from the corner of Bold Place" in Liverpool is in Liverpool city centre and you added Toxteth and Dingle "IRELAND" on some kind of assumption basis. Please if you have to can you just add Liverpool? Only you are also pulling up files that are nothing to do with Liverpool. I realise this is known as a bot but you are the controller you need to look at this. You are being very ignorant in not responding to my earlier messages. Can you figure away around this as your edits are becoming quite a pest. Babydoll0409 (talk) 20:42, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for you message. As you can see my talk page has become a random dumping ground so I sometimes miss messages. I'll have a look at it. Multichill (talk) 22:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi - just drop a quick comment on this:

The Dingle error is the result of a disambiguation error.

However, Toxteth is result of the inadequacy of the underlying databases: Neither have a distinct location for "the city centre of Liverpool", so instead match to neighbouring districts such as Toxteth. I'd say the database (and nearest point routine) are likely to be completely unreliable within cities, and its better to place the files in the city category (or <subject> in city) categories only.

One suggestion, that should be easy to implement, is make the bot ignore any <suburb> locations on OSM, and those marked as <fcode>PPLX</fcode> on geonames. IMO, the best solution is be to switch the localisation from a "nearest point" routine to something that looks at boundaries - but that would take more time/effort. I'll make a more detailed post on why that's a good thing to the batch page later.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi

I just wanted to stop by and say that you're awesome and all the work you do on Commons and beyond is invaluable. p.s. Obviously the user above this comment does not use Firefox or they'd notice how great their spelling is. Thank you again Multichill for your awesomeness. Missvain (talk) 22:10, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Eh

Wikimedia Commons wizard barnstar

Had to pick one image, but this is for all the work you’ve done here. For your bots running day and night. For your batch uploads and their countless images. For the i18n and TranslateWiki. For your devotion to Wikimedia Commons and your integrity. For mentoring me. For your awesomeness. Jean-Fred (talk) 17:54, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree. Just tagged it with {{Move}}. The actual move is easy (bot + template change). Multichill (talk) 18:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Spanish structured lists

Hi!. I have some questions about the bot and the structured lists of wikipedia-es. We have some lists on wp-es that are in other wikis too like wp-gl and wp-ca, and we wanted that the bot don't read the wp-es lists of some provinces. How can we get this?, is it possible?, with some no-robot command perphaps?. Bye, --Elisardojm (talk) 00:31, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Where was this category re-organisation discussed? There is no tagging of it or linkage to any discussion. This is a massive change to a large structure: "Vehicles of" and "Vehicles in" are not the same thing at all. The same thing came up in March and was rejected, as it was combining and confusing these two sub-trees, one for manufacture and one for photo location. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:48, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
